Question!

Why is my redscale film not red? I see that it is reddish but why not red/yellow?
It was a cloudy day but light enough. Please let me know if you have tips or an idea why it's not red : ) Thanks

    It's all about scanning. I am still searching for ways to make it work for me, but I haven't yet figured out a precise formula about it. It will require some digital PP (I am more inclined to call that "fixing a sloppy scan" than editing), but nothing beyond curves/levels.

    Really? I just Don't Like using Photoshop on my analog photos. And i mostly scan the printed photos and not the negatives. But If i scaned the negatives then it would be more red/yellow you thinnk?

    Photoshop is an overkill. You should find a way to scan your film, that's gonna make most sense. Or ask the minilab to scan without correcting levels, and then run them all thorough some levels/curves editing program. I wrote a tutorial about correcting levels in GIMP:

    but it covers totally uncorrected images, not over-corrected like yours.
    The other way around is to just accept them as they are (and they aren't bad, although not particularly red).
